Does anyone else see the irony in the newest design of the $1 coin?

One of the last $1 coins had a strong Native American woman on it in Sacajawea. The newest $1 coin has Andrew Jackson on it, a man made famous by killing Natives and denying them the right to have their own government.

I know that they're going through a few of the presidents but IMO Jackson shouldn't be on any of the currency.

I think Andrew Jackson should be on the $1 coin just because they're going through all of them and it would be kind of weird to skip a few. I do agree that Andrew Johnson should not be on the $20 bill. We should put FDR there and get someone to replace him on the $.10 coin. Maybe Ben Franklin?

I think they should just scrap the idea of presidents on bills. If it's the US, put the US seal on there and the denomination and be done with it. I think Canada should do the same with just putting animals on it instead (lol...yeah that's as cool as it gets for us).

I love Canadas currency. Where else can you have a 2 dollar coin and a beaver on the nickel

Do I think it's ironic? Nope. Why? Because no one spent the Sacajawea coin, and just kept them. It doesn't matter who's on the coin and no one will use them. You could put Satan, Hitler, or Michael Vick on the coin and no one will use them as currency. As far as who's on the bills, it doesn't matter to anyone who's on the bills. Why? Because we don't care, we just care about the numbers in the corners and what they mean and we just need a few hundred of them to pay our gas bills for the month! There could be an oil barrel on the dollar, and no one would care!

I'll tell you who'll use them. The Ecuadorians. That's who.

For some reason in Ecuador the Sacajawea coin is used very much. I've gotten more coins there as change in a couple weeks than I have living the past eight years in America.

You do know why FDR is on the dime, right?

And I say keep that arrogant b*stard on the $20.

Not so much with the beaver thing, but doesn't the EU have a 2 Euro coin?

We've got a $2 coin.

Though our 5c piece has an echidna on it.

(too big to post)

And we got rid of 1 and 2 cent pieces, we just round everything to the nearest 5 cents.

Oh, and I've got a site.

This might be a stupid thing to ask, but do they still mint the JFK Half-Dollar coin? Either as circulation or just collector's pieces?

Oh wow I completely forgot about the March of Dimes. In that case let's put Elvis on the $20.

The US should have dropped the 1¢ coin a long time ago. Also, the $1 bill should have switched over to a coin only or the bill should be made from a polymer material to last longer.

We should just use poker chips as currency.

Just put all the presidents on the back. They're having a party.

Jimmy Carter's passed out on the couch. ;)
